“I didn’t look,” [White Sox pitcher Freddy] Garcia said. “I knew that it was gone.”
For those scoring at home, “it” would be the ball (it was a home run), the no-hitter, and his hopes of earning a W. One mistake in an otherwise brilliant game. That’s baseball for you. And no matter what the quotes say, that one stings.
Methinks that if the Sox collapse down the stretch, last night will be when they say the fat lady cleared her throat.
